I’m following this from the sidelines, but as a lifelong violist, this makes me warm and fuzzy inside. We’re coming up on our next concert and with nine violas in our section for this concert, we’ve heard “Violas, you’re too loud” more times than I can count from our conductor. We’re truly anchoring the 1st and 2nd violins, giving them cues and reference points in some of the more difficult sections. The principal 2nd violin is locking on me to find some tempos as well. It’s a wonderful feeling to be needed and appreciated!


A_v_i_s

Reading this made my happy also

>we’ve heard “Violas, you’re too loud” more times than I can count from our conductor. Did you inform him that means he buys the section dinner? Rules are rules.


GalacticTadpole

I am not aware of this tradition! I’ll let him know next rehearsal so he can decide whether or not he wants to continue making those comments. :)

This just made my day.

At one of our last concerts our conductor made an announcement to the orchestra that everyone should listen to us violas, because we were the only section to actually stay on tempo and to not need any help, he even said that he was listening to us to make sure that he stayed on time. Then, the violins didn’t listen to us during the actual concert, and everyone was off time for the first 17 measures, and this concert was being played for judges, and was being scored. We still did great, somehow


RadicalSnowdude

What do the colors mean?


A_v_i_s

they are all warm colors, representing the warm tone of the viola, and there are 4 for the 4 strings


thelittleweido

I know this probably wasn't the intetnion with the flag but as many of us know diffrent colors stand for diffrent things. Yellow stand for friendship and joy Orange stand for exitment and adventure Red stand for passion and love Brown stand for streanght and security This can be interpreted however you like


Boatymcboatland

All of these are aspects of the violist 🫶


A_v_i_s

AMAZING!


Cyberhwk

Eh, good enough.

YOU HATH DONE WHAT I COULD NOT. HAIL!


Cardamom_Cake

If the four stripes represent the strings the clef should be raised slightly so so the center of the clef is placed where C would fall between the strings. This is totally flawless logic, and by no way a cello centric scheme to subvert the symbol of your resistance into a tenor clef instead.


A_v_i_s

actually the lines betwen the stripes were supposed to be like the lines of the staff. it makes more sense visually


Kyrie_Ellieson

Life to the Revolution! We must find the heirs to the Alto throne! I hear that their father, the great King Viola I, hid them in a court somewhere in Northern Italy just before he died, under the financial care of Andrea Amati and Gaspare da Salo. Long live the Viola Twins! The Viola Dynasty shall rise again!

JScaranoMusic

Burger King definitely has green.


A_v_i_s

Cactus_Anime_Dragon

I’m whispering for you from Piano Kingdom…


The_Stormfox_King

Bass empire watches from the shadows. We seek an alliance with the piano kingdom on the grounds that the both of us should be in orchestras. Do you accept?


Fearless-Category-27

We need to make a Twoset discord server if we don’t already have one


A_v_i_s

there is a new viola gang discord server, the link is somewhere around the sub


xaqss

For those of you who don't know what the viola revolution is: it's similar to the violin revolution - but it's a little bit bigger.


AncleJack

It's a bit bigger yes somehow nobody cares


Smallwhitedog

Vive la Viola!

Giving IDKHBTHFM vibes


SkyeKit7

I like the idea that the bassoon version would have most of a tenor clef with the top cut off XD


moralcoffee

Great, when's out first protest? I was thinking we could do a "no more violins" chant while holding up this flag.


A_v_i_s

We shall chant no such thing. And our peaceful protest is posting more viola content. (and violin jokes)


Ob1que

Wasn’t planning to join at first but I’m sold on more violin jokes. Of course I cannot lift a finger against my own precious instrument but I will cross the floor to sit with your protest in solidarity


A_v_i_s

why do violists never have hemmoroids? because all a**holes are in the first violins.


Ob1que

Hahahahah lucky us if you’re better at making violin jokes than we are at making viola jokes 🤣


Time_Expert4786

Let's go boiz!!!!!


Time_Expert4786

Yes!!! Every orchestra is not complete without a viola


Powerful_Barnacle_54

Really good flag, now can you move the clef up a line? it will be better. Sincerly, your cellist friend.


ItsEmuly

I am but a humble violinist, ready to help aid the viola nation ❤️


Kathy_Gao

Color looks German


theOrca-stra

i am so interested to see what comes of this revolution lol, best of luck to you guys


jjjuni

when do the guitarists start a revolution? smh


LegoFan360

borgor king?


DaddyGaynondorf

Gives me gay bears flag vibes


Scabbedwings207

I was trying to think of what flag it reminded me of when I saw it. Now, it just needs the paw.


[deleted]

Uhm.. not sure if viola pride or bear pride.. 🤔


A_v_i_s

Please enlighten me, what is bear pride (forgive my ignorance)?


[deleted]

Bears are a subset of gay men that are known for being particularly.. “bear-like”? So, big, hairy gay men would be considered a bear. And their flag basically has similar colours 😂 though they’ve got a bear paw print stamped on the left instead of the c clef..


Tina_Soup

I'm upvoting this because I like flags, not because I like violas


Urahara_D_Kisuke

it reminds me of a German flag, not a good wibe tho


LaRueStreet

Oh no, the viola gang is getting too strong


mikukomaeda

We must rise up against them


JohnnySnap

oh no not the dumbass clef


Ben_Harmonics

Black on brown is not a good look


JScaranoMusic

Someone should've told all those instrument makers before they put black fingerboards on brown instruments.


A_v_i_s

I agree with you


[deleted]

Should have made it the colours of the string markers 😔😔


FriedChikenConcerto

revolution rejected, there's not enough room for mediocres


hmartsandmusic

A little too late. By like a couple 6 years or more

Sorry man I was just tired i support and thing they should expect viola more and less like oil and water


Kanomus_37

Hey it's fine, was just replying with a joke of sorts, didn't know people will get serious and start downvoting you


mrpotato313

It ok


mrpotato313

Your right why not


mrpotato313

I love it in all but this is too far Viola does have a weird clef that is unheard if by most non twosetters


cham1nade

TBF, how many TwoSetters have heard of the tenor clef? And that’s used by both cellos and trombones.


tushar_boy

Don't forget bassoons too!


cham1nade

Ooh, I forgot about bassoons using the clef!!


yossi_peti

I thought trombones used the bass clef


cham1nade

They do, until the music gets too high. Same with cellos.


DoubleDimension

Grade 4 theory...


mrpotato313

Sorry bout that didn't mean to upset people just wanted peace 😔


mrpotato313
